Ewan McGregor is poised to join the cast of Hollywood's Da Vinci Code prequel Angels & Demons. McGregor, who can be seen this weekend in the new thriller Deception, will play a Vatican insider who helps the story's hero Robert Langdon, played by Tom Hanks. Israeli star Ayelet Zurer has been cast as Hanks's leading lady. Ron Howard, who turned Brown's bestseller Da Vinci Code into a $758m (£382m) hit in 2006, is scheduled to begin shooting later this year.
